Wikipedia is not a directory, neither it is a collection of external links. Donnie Park (talk) 20:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete It Yesterday. Seriously, somebody needs to get a life. But okay, technically: Wikipedia is not a directory. Amen. Qworty (talk) 08:58, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Do Not Delete

You might not like it or think it a waste of time but it serves a purpose. I saw a list of hits it received one time and was amazed at how much interest there was. Dunno how to show this but maybe someone else does. I don't see how it is any different to these other lists, which are not up for deletion...

• List_of_sovereign_states,
• List_of_record_labels,
• List_of_Star_Wars_characters.

If you need sources (although I thought I had included them) here are two other lists of photography clubs on the web...

• Irish Photographic Federation
• Institute of Photography

• Comment: As this is coming from the creator, I will say this is not a matter of whether I like it or not, it is the matter of this list failing to meet guidelines and serves a purpose to provide links to other clubs who do not have their own article and are not likely to meet notability guidelines themselves. Answer this, why should your list be significant compared to those that you have mentioned here, which meets notability guidelines and are notable in a sense, plus they bluelinked and does any of yours, I don't see any. The number of hits on your page is not relative to this nomination. Donnie Park (talk) 13:41, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Delete as the article consists of nothing but inappropriate external links which do not meet WP:EL. Wikipedia is not a spam repository or a linkfarm. ThemFromSpace 18:51, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete how about I create List of Bicycle shops in Kentucky or List of KFC Restaurants in Yorkshire or List of high school softball teams in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona all of which would be equally notable to this list. -Drdisque (talk) 03:24, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
